No. It really depends on what you're charged with. Lifetime bans are for using drugs or sex offences. For anything else you would get a 6 or 12-month ban.

Contrary to what most people would tell you, lifetime bans are not for all of the GCC countries,it's only for the country where the criminal offence was committed.

mistow_77, it depends on

mistow_77, it depends on whether the banks want to track you down or have the capability and time to track you down. There are many cases of people leaving debts sometimes in the hundreds of thousands of AED. But generally from what I know (hearsay) there is no problem if you go to, say, Qatar or Bahrain, even if you had left debts in the UAE
